Oxen, as their animal counterparts, are strong. Both physically and mentally. They are good solid workers who don’t have time for people less capable than themselves. These people can be thought of as stodgy and no fun. However, they often have hobbies that could make other people blush! It’s their way of getting away from the normal everyday rigor. As long as it’s not silly, the Ox does not like to appear silly.
The stores are just bursting with merchandise and everything seems to be on sale. Here is a pile of dried pressed chickens - I guess you eat them.
The Chinese tastes seem to be quite strange, here is a picture of Blueberry potato chips. They cost $1. I couldn't bring myself to buy them and try them, I am so sure it's completely gross.
Here is a wonderful picture of the Shanghai Skyline as seen from our apartment building. You can see the Oriental Pearl Tower, left side of picture, pearl ball just peaking up behind another building. The Financial tower, looks like a bottle opener right side of picture. And the Jin Mao tower to the left of the Financial tower. In the forefront of the picture is the JW Marriott with the pointy pencil like top. We stayed in that hotel in Sept. when we came to look for housing. The pineapple topped building to the right of the JW Marriott is the Raddison Hotel. And the low brick buildings are old apartments that the Shanghai people live in.
